Wow that’s a lot of stuff to take on! What advice do you have for people about joining clubs and how to manage their time wisely?Â
To not only join clubs that you think would look good on your resume. I can’t stress this enough. You need to join clubs that interest you and give you a chance to step away from the chaos of school and work. I know from personal experience that if you don’t have a balance of both, you’ll lose your mind. As for time management, I would say the key is to prioritize and to never over-book yourself. So, if you know you have three assignments due on Friday, you might want to skip this week’s Zumba class. Another major component is organization. What I recommend is an agenda book where you can log all of your events, meeting, and assignments everyday. It’s good to write it all down on paper so you can get a visual of what needs to be done.
Who do you look up to most?
I would have to say my Dad. He’s worked so hard to get where he is today and he motivates me everyday to do the same.
Quote to live by?
“The higher you climb, the better the view.”
What do you like to do on your spare time?
Usually, I exercise or spend time with my friends. I also love taking advantage of all the different restaurants and nightlife around the city.
Where do you see yourself after you graduate?
I love the city so much I’ll most likely be staying here after I graduate. I’m hoping to move down to Manhattan though and work towards getting my MBA in marketing.Â
